Hello friends. Shortly before I made the move to iPhone back in the beginning, I had a short stint with Blackberry as my device. One thing I LOVED that the Blackberry did, was Profiles (at least I think that’s what it was called). It was a one button push to a menu where I could decide which profile I was using. This “profile” was essentially a settings overhaul, that allowed you to change things like ringer/notification volume, vibration settings, and maybe that was it. Either way, I’ve been wishing for this function in iOS ever since.

What I have: iPhone 14Pro, latest iOS version (iOS 16.5)

What I’ve done: Set up shortcuts that are on my home screen as buttons, which change my Focus. I have 3 Focus modes right now.

  1. Daytime - Full volume and long vibrate, easy to hear notification sounds
  2. Vibe - 35% volume, same notifications as Daytime
  3. Sleep - No notifications except calls/texts from my favorite contacts. It’s essentially an all-but-an-emergency setting

What I’d Like: I want to be able to add any necessary steps to these shortcuts to change the notification sounds for the “Vibe” focus. This focus is meant for when i’m sitting at home or with friends and can hear my phone easily. I don’t need to change all the sounds. Just texts, email, ringtone, voicemail. You know, the stuff that I’m most likely to receive.

Does anyone know how I can do this? Like I said, I’ve already got the shortcuts set up, I just need to add the notification sound changes. Is this possible? I cannot figure it out!

P.S. Hope you’re all enjoying Lemmy! I know I am.

    Hey! Glad I found this community!

    I don’t have an exact answer for you nor will it help you with automating it fully but using this setting I can to the “Audio and haptics menu” in Settings.

    It’s late here but dig into how they get there and do the same, then at least you’ll get to the right menu when activating it. Not great, not terrible
